Alexander - should be in post with link to http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/28872/?
[although to my understanding, the improvement that ^^^ brings is not enough, and additional improvement need to be looked into]

thanks.

Comment 2 Alexander Wels 2014-06-24 12:55:21 UTC

Yes I want to investigate more before declaring this fixed

Comment 4 Alexander Wels 2014-07-25 17:10:53 UTC

The latest patch posted should give a 4-5x speed improvement on logging into webadmin during GWT debug mode. It takes me around 50s now, which for now I am going to declare sufficiently quick to not be an issue anymore. We just need to verify that the changes I made don't cause any regressions.

Comment 6 Pavel Novotny 2014-09-11 14:00:22 UTC

From comment 4 I assume the performance issue in GWT debug mode is fixed for development environments.

As for QA, I can  verify this bug from "production" point of view - on RHEVM installed from RPMs where GWT debug mode is not enabled.

From what I understood, this patch changes the way how UI presenters are initialized:

- Before, all UI presenters (i.e., areas of the HTML application like main tabs, sub-tabs, etc.) were initialized when the Webadmin/UserPortal application was initialized - right after login.
- Now, UI presenters are initialized only "on demand", after they're activated (i.e., at the moment some main tab or sub-tab is accessed).

Which results in:
1) faster login, application is initialized quicker because it doesn't load all UI presenters
- Verified: login to RHEVM 3.5 is 3+ faster than to RHEVM 3.4 on the same HW (~3 seconds vs ~10 seconds)
2) slower loading of main tabs or sub-tabs when accessing them for the first time
- Verified: comparing to RHEVM 3.4, loading of a main tab or sub-tab time takes a bit more time at first, but then is fast as in 3.4

Moving to verified, rhevm-3.5.0-0.10.master.el6ev.noarch (vt2.2).

If you find something from above is not true or accurate, feel free to move this bug back to ON_QA.
